Career Guidance in communities discusses the interaction between everyday lives, learning, participating in career guidance activities and transitions in and out of the educational system and labour market. On the basis of Critical Psychology, the author points to the dilemmas and paradoxes in both 'career guidance' and 'workplace guidance'. By showing how guidance activities can develop within the community generally, the book puts forward a decentred perspective. Career guidance is not a goal in itself; it is a means to support a person's participation in the economic society through education and work, but through their actions the participants in the community modify and change the guidance practice, thereby creating new possibilities for themselves and each other. The discussions in this book are of relevance to career guidance practitioners, policymakers and politicians - in short, anyone involved in career guidance, counselling and career development. Praise for this volume: 'By providing a sustained critique of the 'language', form and practice of mainstream career guidance, and by privileging the user's voice, Rie Thomsen does the profession an invaluable service. The book introduces new, exciting and challenging perspectives that resonate with the collective turn in public service provision.' Professor Ronald G. Sultana, University of Malta 'In her research, Rie Thomsen underscores the centrality of the users of guidance being co-constructors of career guidance. The voice of users is pivotal in times where career guidance policies seem to pursue economic goals, rather than humanistic ones. In these terms, Career Guidance in Communities is very timely: united we stand. Alone we fall.' Professor Peter Plant, Aarhus University, DK 'A vision of career guidance as a participatory endeavour unfolds, with the analysis underpinned by research evidence that has been carried out with reflective and intellectual rigour.' Jenny Bimrose, Warwick University, UK
